Peoplesoft VM template

Hi,
I created an virtual machine from the database server template (OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_HCM91_PVM downloaded from edelivery) and encountered the following problems :
1. On the first boot of the machine I configured the database to be started on boot (default choice - +Do you want Oracle Database to be started on boot (y/n) [y]:+ ), unfortunately it looks like the database and listener do not start automatically on the virtual machine start.
2. The /etc/oratab does not contain the database name I gave during the first VM setting.
3. The database password given on the first VM boot are not taken in account, e.g. SYSTEM's password is manager, not the one I gave during the initialization ( Specify a password to be used for database accounts. Note that the same password will be used for SYS, SYSTEM and ADMIN for APEX )...
Is it a known problem, or did I make something wrong ?
Nicolas.

An other point, the service_name of the database contains the domain name coming from Peoplesoft world, +.corp.peoplesoft.com+
Is it standard from the templates delivered by Oracle ?
Nicolas.

CPU requirement for running Peoplesoft OVM template?

Hi,
The virtual processorsPeoplesoft HCM template runtime requirements are:
- 2 virtual procesors for HCM Demo database
- 2 virtual processorsfor App Batch
- 1 virtual processor for PIA
will a PC will a quad processor (AMD Phenom II 965 or Intel i7 860) and 8 GB RAM able to run 3 virtual machines concurrently?
Thanks.

Yes, it will run. Oracle VM Server will start regardless the number of CPUs but not regardless your available RAM. And with 8Gb RAM on your server, you have more than required (4Gb in total) : 2Gb for Peoplesoft OVM template database server, 1Gb for App/Batch and 1Gb for the PIA server.

Is Peoplesoft Application Designer part of the Peoplesoft OVM Template?

I am totally new to Peoplesoft. Is PeopleSoft Application Designer part of the Peoplesoft OVM Template and how can I access it in order to development?
Thanks for any help.

Is PeopleSoft Application Designer part of the Peoplesoft OVM Template and how can I access it in order to development?Since AppDesigner is a tool available on Windows OS only, no, Oracle does not provide any template for that (I think for license reason only templates based on OEL are provided). You'll have to build your own VM, or just use any workstation as a Peoplesoft client to run AppDesigner.
It has been discussed in the Peoplesoft OVM forum, in that thread :
how i can start app Designer / DataMover on OVM peoplesoft ?

PeopleSoft OVM Template

If you're watching the thread, check out the blog posting [http://blogs.oracle.com/peopletools/2009/10/oracle_vm_template_for_peoples.html|http://blogs.oracle.com/peopletools/2009/10/oracle_vm_template_for_peoples.html]

There are a couple of aspects to this:
- We have customers who have implemented the full stack using other vendor virtualization.
- The OVM templates are provided as a form of "quick start" to get customers and others running with an environment.
- Because Oracle Enterprise Linux, Oracle VM, Oracle DB and PeopleSoft Application are Oracle products there is no multi-vendor license conflict consideration
The Oracle VM Templates are provided in addition to all of the other resources Oracle provides, they are not supplanting, or eliminating, anything else, so no one is being left out in the cold. All the software and documentation is already provided for anyone who wishes to create their own test and demonstration environments.

PeopleSoft VM template installation problem

Hello All,
I downloaded 2 people soft Oracle VM Templates.
OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_HCMDB_9_1_1_PVM
OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_TOOLS_8_51_02_HCM_9_1_1_PVM
I first created VM1 from OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_HCMDB_9_1_1_PVM and during db creation steps, gave
HR91 as SID, 1521 port.
Then I created VM2 from OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_TOOLS_8_51_02_HCM_9_1_1_PVM.
When I try to run
./psadmin and try to create the domain
I always get this error
Dabase Signon: Invalid user ID aor password for database signon. (id=system)
Now From second VM2, I can connect to DB on VM1 machine as using sqlplus
system/admin123
but can't connect as using sqlplus
sys/admin123 as sysdba
sysadm/sysadm as sysdba
While creating domain,
1. what database userid/password should I use
2. what is significance of AddToPath parameter
regards, Yora

Hello Nicolas,
Thanks for the reply, Let me try to answer all your questions.
>
I'm wondering why you want to create the appl domain, the VM deployment should create one by default.
>
I didn't see any domains created as part of VM creation. When I run psadmin and say "Administer a domain", I see empty domain list.
>
Moreover, system is not being used, and should not be used for Peoplesoft application. Use SYSADM instead, it is the owner of the entire Peoplesoft objects set. The SYSADM's password is SYSADM (in upper case). SYSADM is not being used to be sysdba against the database.
>
As you said I used sysadm/SYSADM to create domain, verified from sqlplus that sysadm/SYSADM user can connect to the db, but now the error is
"Database Signon: Invalid user ID or password for database signon. (id=sysadm)."
>
On the domain configuration, you should give a application user - not a database one - and for HCM, it should be PS.
>
Are you trying to say, while creation of domain, db/db-user doesn't come in picture.
well, while looking for a log file, I came across this file
/home/psadm2/psft/pt/8.51/appserv/APPDOM/LOGS/APPSRV_0102.LOG with contents,
so seems like there was a domain called APPDOM which installation probably tried to create, but failed due to some reasons.

PeopleSoft VM template installation frustration

Hello,
After PeopleSoft VM setup, application access is fine.
But our Peoplesoft functional guys told me that some of the reports are not working for which COBOL is needed.
This is what VM template documentation says.
Production use of Oracle VM templates that include the running of COBOL processes will require the purchase of a COBOL license since there is only a 30-day evaluation licensed delivered with the templates.
So
1. can COBOL be used for 30 days?
2. How to start COBOL process(es)?
regards, Yora

Which application template are you using? i.e: Financials or HCM?
Which version of the template are you using? This will be shown in the README file that accompanied the template. i.e: when you extracted the disk images from the zipfile there will have been a README file. Inside that README file the PeopleTools and Application version will be shown. Knowing these will help us comment more accurately.
When you say that some of the reports are not working, does this mean that none of the functionality depending on COBOL works or that a subset of the COBOL based reports are not working? I ask this because it would tell us whether you are having problems with all COBOL based reports. If this were just some COBOL based reports I'd look at it from a non-COBOL perspective. Can you also tell us which reports specifically are not running?
1. Yes, COBOL can be used for 30 days after which you are required to obtain a COBOL license from Microfocus. This is because Oracle does not distribute Microfocus licenses for use with these VM templates. You need to enter into a license agreement with Microfocus if you plan on using the VM beyond the 30 day evaluation period. The 30 day evaluation period commences when you instantiate the VM from the template for the first time.
2. You don't start the COBOL processes. COBOL is a set of libraries that are loaded by the PeopleTools processes. Therefore when you start the Process Scheduler and Application Server domains these libraries are loaded into the memory space of the domain processes. This means that when you boot or shutdown the domains using PSAdmin, the necessary COBOL functionality should be available to schedule reports etc.

PeopleSoft Campus Solution OVM template

Hi Guys,
have anyone had experience using peoplesoft OVM template in implementing (or testing out) Campus Solution ?
I'm planning to have a Campus Solution test in my organization using OVM.

- We have customers who have implemented the full stack using other vendor virtualization.
- The OVM templates are provided as a form of "quick start" to get customers and others running with an environment.

Oracle PeopleSoft CRM pre-built VM Template

Hey!
Am looking for a pre-built VM Template of Oracle PeopleSoft CRM.. In the instructions it says:
Visit http://edelivery.oracle.com/oraclevm
Complete your registration information (Name, Company Name, Email Address and Country) and click on the download agreement
Select "Oracle VM Templates" from the "Select a Product Pack" pull-down menu
Select "x86 64 bit" from the "Platform" pull-down menu
Click "Go" and then select from the list of Oracle VM Templates
Download and unzip the files and read the readme
But I can't find PeopleSoft listed in after hitting the "Go" button!
Is there any other way to download it?
Thank you in advance.

It seems Oracle needs to revisit their pages more often, the link you pointed is really out of date. The PSoft OVM CRM91 PTools 8.50 you read from the page you linked is dated from August-2010 when I see my software repository...
The Peoplesoft OVM Templates have been globally decomissioned three years ago I think, you have no luck to find out one of them unless you have already downloaded them.
Nowadays, Peoplesoft is working with the so-called Peoplesoft Images, virtual machine for VirtualBox. Unfortunately, only available for those who have a valid Customer Support Identifier (paid support) and access to My Oracle Support.
The Peoplesoft images are rebuilt on regular basis, perhaps every quarter - depending of the application, with the highest maintenance level (application and tools).

PeopleSoft HCM 9.1 OVM in a single VirtualBox guest machine

Following a suggestion from Jim Marion in an earlier post in this forum, I started installing the PeopleSoft HCM 9.1 OVM using a single VirtualBox guest. The PeopleSoft OVM appliances are delivered as two separate virtual machines, one for the DB and another for the PIA/App-Batch. Since I am running on a 4 GB RAM laptop I wanted to conserve memory by installing on a single virtual machine.
As I was starting to figure out the changes needed in the configuration scripts, for example creating a symbolic link instead of an nfs mount for PS_APP_HOME, I got a surprise. Lo and behold, the good folks at Oracle had already thought of this! In the oraclevm-template.sh there is an environment variable VBOX_SETUP that is set if the script detects the existance of both PS_DB_HOME and PS_HOME. This triggers the installation of all the tiers -- DB, App-Batch, PIA -- on a single machine. With a few tweaks I was able to get a fully functioning HCM environment with a single execution of the setup script.
The starting point for installing PeopleSoft OVMs on VirtualBox is these two blog posts:
[url http://jjmpsj.blogspot.com/2012/05/converting-peoplesoft-ovm-templates-to.html]
[url http://jjmpsj.blogspot.com/2012/06/converting-peopletools-ovm-template-to.html]
Since I was only using a single virtual guest I mounted all the file systems at once. Here are the entries (excluding the System images which are only mounted temporarily as explained in Jim's blog posts):
in VirtualBox:
SATA Port 1: Oracle11gR2.vdi (Normal, 4.41 GB)
SATA Port 2: HCMDB.vdi (Normal, 26.38 GB)
SATA Port 3: Tools.vdi (Normal, 11.25 GB)
in /etc/fstab:
/dev/sdb1               /u01                    ext3    defaults        1 3
/dev/sdc1               /opt/oracle/psft/ptdb   ext3    defaults        1 4
/dev/sdd1               /opt/oracle/psft/pt     ext3    defaults        1 5I commented out the ovm_set_password and ovm_configure_network steps in /u01/scripts/db-reconfig.sh since I had manually set up a static IP on my guest. (Note: this script no longer bothers checking for or setting up oracleasm so you don't need to worry about that). I also uncommented the DEBUG_PSFT_OVM variable in the /opt/oracle/psft/vm/oraclevm-template-utils.sh script. Doing this bypasses the root password reset and networking configuration in the oraclevm-template.sh script.
I modified the .bash_profile script for psadm1, psadm2 and psadm3 to use the ORACLE_SID that the setup script discovered based on the contents of $PSFT_DB_HOME/oradata and added $PS_HOME/setup to the PATH for COBOL compiles:
# psft env vars
export PS_APP_HOME=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/apptools
export PS_CFG_HOME=/home/psadm2/psft/pt/8.52
export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/oracle-client
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/11.2.0.x
export ORACLE_SID=HR91C323
export TUXDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/bea/tuxedo
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TUXDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
. /opt/oracle/psft/pt/tools/psconfig.sh
export PATH=$TUXDIR/bin:$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PS_HOME/setup
export LANG=C
export COBDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/cobol/svrexp-51_wp4-64bit
export PATH=$PATH:$COBDIR/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$COBDIR/lib(Just a note on the beauty of VirtualBox: I didn't figure out all the above in a single step. But by taking some snapshots of my virtual machine I was able to go back and start over with a minimum of fuss.)
I still had a few errors after I got a clean run of /opt/oracle/psft/vm/oraclevm-template.sh:
<li>The app engine VERSION program failed because it didn't pick up the PS_SERVER_CFG variable. The variable is set in the script so I'm still trying to figure out what happened.
<li>The ovm_dbusers.sql failed on a couple of statements with insufficient privileges. It is run as SYSADM and may need to be run as sysdba.
<li>The ovm_ib.sql script had a unique constraint error on an insert into psibsvcsetup. Since the row already exists this should probably be an update.
These were minor issues that were easily resolved after the instance was up.
I have started making changes to further reduce the footprint of the VM: lower weblogic min/max heap size to 128m, don't start PSAESRV in the batch server, don't start Analytic and Query servers in the app server, lower the sga_target and pga_aggregate_target in the db server, etc.
These PeopleSoft OVM templates are a fantastic way to get started with an up-to-date, well configured PeopleSoft application.

Hi,
To keep all my peoplesoft servers on a virtual environnement i will use Oracle Database 11.1.0.6 for x86_64 (64 bit) with Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.2 template and install on it the peoplesoft CRM. it's a good idea ? Yes, why not.
But you could also want to minimize the number of virtual machines running in your env by adding the CRM database into the existing Peoplesoft OVM database server, check if there is enough space to host this CRM db in addition of the running HR db, if not you could increase the space or add a new disk.
and which files from http://edelivery.oracle.com i should use to install peoplesoft CRM database ?
You'll only need to download PeopleSoft Enterprise Customer Relationship Management 9.1 application, part number V17881-01 from "PeopleSoft Enterprise - Customer Relationship Management 9.1 Media Pack".
sorry for those question i'm still beginner in peoplesoft.No problem, Peoplesoft is not so easy software anyway.
HTH,
Nicolas.

VM Template tar extract failed

Hello,
I have an issue with a PeopleSoft ELM template, however the problem is related to extracting the tarball. Is there anything specific I need to do when extracting these archives? Here is what I've tried:
[root@vochomurka seed_pool]# gunzip -c OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_ELMDB_9_1_2_PVM.tgz.1of2 | tar -xvf -

Thank you forums, seems many times I start a post after struggling for a bit I find the answer myself :-)
Anyway, I found a solution in my own notes and it's quite simple. While extracting the tar, it fails as unexpected end of file, so there is some data missing. In this case, it's the next part. The soltion is to concatenate the two files before attempting a tar extract. Example follows.
[root@vochomurka seed_pool]# cat OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_TOOLS_8_50_09_ELM_9_1_2_PVM.tgz.1of2 OVM_EL5U2_X86_64_TOOLS_8_50_09_ELM_9_1_2_PVM.tgz.2of2 >> OVM_TOOLS.tgz
[root@vochomurka seed_pool]# tar -xvf OVM_TOOLS.tgzMaybe someone like me might stumble across this post in the future.

Facing problem in Peoplesoft database Oracle VM initialization

we downloaded PeopleSoft VM Templates for HCM 9.1 Release Media Pack v1 for x86 (64 bit) from below link
http://edelivery.oracle.com/EPD/Download/get_form?egroup_aru_number=11897272
We follow below mentioned steps given in Readme(Readme for Media Pack B56989-01).
2.1 Prepare OVM Environment
2.2 Download Templates
2.2.1 Joining Split Templates
2.3 Import Templates
2.4 Creating a Virtual Machine from the Template
But during "2.4.1 Database Initialization" step
we got below error:-
Failed to start CSS
Failed to install Oracle Database
After this error Database VM initialization continues and asks for SID name and completes VM initialization successfully.
Then it ask for machine creds. After successfully login when we try to connect to database instance using sqlplus( ./sqlplus system/password@TESTDB) it gives error - ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
We understand that the error is because of the service not being registered with the listener. We tried updating listener.ora file but it didn't help. However the main problem seems to be the error "Failed to install Oracle Database".
Please give your valuable inputs to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance

Fastest Way PeopleSoft

Hi Alll,
Can please somebody tell me what it the fastest way to have working People Soft Aplication on widnows machine using oracle db. Just for demo purpose but to be up and running for a long time period . If there are any build in images ? We can use VM ware.

No the images are for Oracle VM Server, but can be converted to Virtualbox.
Converting OVM Templates to VMWare is theoretically possible, but haven't tried it for myself.
Re: Can Oracle VM Templates work with VMware?
Or ....
See following blogs from Nicolas Gasparotto on how to run the PeopleSoft OVM Templates on VMWare Server!!!

Step by Step PeopleSoft HRMS Installation from scratch.

Hi there,
I am a very newbie for all the Oracle products. Haven't used any oracle products ever. I need to create a POC of integrating PeopleSoft with Microsoft Technology.
I have Windows Server 2008R2 x64 with MS SQL Server 2008R2. The Microsoft technology which would work with lastest Peoplesoft version is 9.0
I have the edelivery account created from where I can download the software's. I need to know the what softwares and order of installing all the softwares in order to get a just basic demo Peoplesoft HRMS system ready.
The edelivery has documentation but i found them pretty tedious for a non Oracle guy. Is there any place i can get simple steps and also if someone can tell me the order of installation here that would be great too. I need just basic Peoplesoft HRMS 9.0 env on Win 2008R2.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Vishal

Except the database software, you'll need to go to the part number B35825-46 (PeopleSoft Human Resources Management System and Campus Solutions 9.0 Media Pack) where you can find eveything needed for download :
1. PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources Management System and Campus Solutions 9.0: Feature Pack - March 2011 => V24852-01
2. PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.52 Disc 1 of 3 => V27724-01
3. PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.52 Disc 2 of 3 => V27725-01
4. PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.52 Disc 3 of 3 => V27726-01
5. Tuxedo 10gR3 for MS Windows Server 2008 w/MS VS 2008 x86 32-bit => V20090-01
6. Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.4) Generic and Coherence => V24338-01
7. JRockit JDK R28.1 for Java SE 6 with JRockit Mission Control 4.0.1 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit x86) => V23714-01
I don't think the others components are needed in your case for a POC. And of course, the very first step is a reading of the Peopletools Installation Guide where every step is described : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E26530_01/psft/html/docset.html (take the one according to the database software you are planning to build your Peoplesoft environment on).
Moreover, you can read my previous blog entries on PS installations (sorry, it is for Oracle db, but hopefully you'll get the idea) :
http://gasparotto.blogspot.com/p/installation.html
An good way to get an environment for POC is of course the use of Peoplesoft OVM Template, where eveything is already ready to use, but that's based on Oracle VM, Linux and Oracle database (at least you don't have to bother with any Peoplesoft/database/tuxedo/web installation). Find out more : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/peoplesoft-089548.html
By the way, why 9.0 whereas 9.1 is available for quite a while ?
HTH,

Looking for deployment instructions PeopleSoft AMI instances on Amazon EC2

I am looking for deployment instructions on how to launch PeopleSoft AMI instances on Amazon EC2 platforms. There are many AMIs posted by both Oracle and Amazon together to deploy demo environment, and no where I found the installation/deployment instructions. Template instructions for the following AMIs is pointing to Oracle VM page, not Amazon's AWS instructions.
https://aws.amazon.com/amis?ami_provider_id=4&selection=ami_provider_id
Please help!

We're certainly aware of and interested in our customers' desire to use Amazon's infrastructure for a quick and inexpensive deployment of PeopleSoft for demo or pilot purposes. Please continue to use this forum to provide any feedback regarding Oracle applications, particularly PeopleSoft, deployed on Amazon EC2. We have appreciated the feedback we've seen regarding PeopleSoft OVM Templates. This forum has demonstrated the interest and enthusiasm customers and users have for PeopleSoft and virtualization.
As you are aware, Oracle has a number of broad statements regarding support for our products on the Amazon infrastructure. We are still reviewing the business and technical complexities associated with Oracle-built and delivered AMI's available directly from Amazon compared with our customers using our OVM images for deployment on Amazon's infrastructure. There is no official ETA for FSCM 9.1 and HCM 9.1 AMI's from Oracle.

ERROR:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in
connect descriptor
My guess is that the database service "HCM" is not up and running but not sure how to make up and running. Even I could not find it listed in the linux services list.
Note: Able to login sqlplus using "sqlplus sys/sys as sysdba" but failing to access database table as "select * from PSRECDEFN;"
thanks
Espii.

Hi Nicolas,
I have no luck and the error still persists.
I have set the "export ORACLE_SID=HCM" from root user and oracle user too.
I guess, I have already loaded database when I ran the "cd /opt/oracle/psft/vm
./oraclevm-template.sh"
The outcome of the above script as similar as below:
